Clippers win Lindor debut; tie Indy for 1st

The Clippers charged from a 4-1 deficit to defeat the Louisville Bats 8-5 tonight in Slugger
Field.

The victory pulled them into a tie for first place with Indianapolis in the International League
West Division and also marked the triple-A debut of top Cleveland prospect Francisco Lindor. He
singled in five at-bats, scored a run and stole a base. He also was in the middle of four double
plays on the defensive side of the ball.

Giovanny Urshela and Carlos Moncrief each had three hits and two RBI in the win. Audy Ciriaco
had two hits and two RBI in support of Kyle Davies (6-7). Davies pitched 6 2/3 innings to earn the
win. Austin Adams pitched the ninth to get his third save.

The loss was the seventh straight for Louisville, which got a two-run home run from Donnie
Murphy and four hits from Jason Bourgeois. Andrew Russell (2-2) took the loss.

The Clippers played without middle infielder Jose Ramirez. He joined the
Cleveland Indians, who are waiting to see how shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera responds to treatment for
back spasms that forced him out of Monday's game. He was not activated.
